Free Recipe @ Vickie's Recipes: Shrimp Scampi Pasta (Shrimp)

Shrimp Scampi Pasta: Submitted by: Steve A | Date Added: 24 Mar 2015
Listed in: Main Dishes: Seafood / Shrimp Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil
1 lb peeled and deveined large shrimp (raw; 20 to 25 per lb)
4 large garlic cloves, left unpeeled and forced through a garlic press
1/2 teaspoon dried hot red-pepper flakes
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 lb capellini (angel-hair pasta)
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Bring a 6- to 8-quart pot of salted water to a boil.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté shrimp, turning over once, until just cooked through, about 2 minutes, and transfer with a slotted spoon to a large bowl. Add garlic to oil remaining in skillet along with red pepper flakes, wine, salt, and pepper and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, 1 minute. Add butter to skillet, stirring until melted, and stir in shrimp. Remove skillet from heat.

Cook pasta in boiling water until just tender, about 3 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta-cooking water, then drain pasta in a colander. Toss pasta well with shrimp mixture and parsley in large bowl, adding some of reserved cooking water if necessary to keep moist.

Thanks for posting Steve! This sounds delish and I will give it a try. if you like shrimp...try my Bang Bang Shrimp recipe! Left by: Vickie (25 Mar 2015)

This recipe is great -- we have tried it with fresh and once with dried parsley (when we couldn't find fresh,) but the fresh parsley makes a huge difference. Left by: Dorothy (24 Mar 2015)
